    0:56 That's so weird knowing that is one of your first videos on your channel from just 2 years ago and you now you are where you are today, seems like I watched that video just a little while ago. Its clear just how much time and effort you have put into this channel and the results speak for themselves. Congratulations on all your growth and success and thanks for all the help to my game along the way. I hope you continue to reach more and more people.

    I just got my first ace two weeks ago with the most beat up disc in my bag, a 3 year old DX roc covered in scratches and chips.
    I trust that disc with my life.

    Loving the content. I just picked up disc golf 2 weeks ago. I’ve already went from The Dynamic Discs starter pack to several more discs, Paratrooper bag and a basket to practice putting. Lol. I also just ordered a couple of orange Robbie C. Disc dots. Keep up the good work!

    1st ace was this year 3/24/22 at Persimmon Ridge Kiwanis disc golf course in Jonesborough TN. It was with a Yikun Shu (4, 5, -2, 1) Midrange on hole 11. I had just bought the disc to give to my wife but I borrowed it and this was my first round playing with it, so I kept it and bought her an identical one.

    I started out playing a technical course, then I moved to a town where the local course was loooong. I got pretty good at throwing bombs. I was 19, so, no soreness or recovery time needed. Moved away and started playing technical courses again, and lost my distance. Starting to play a good mix of long and technical, and now I’m 50 years old. I’m having to really work on consistent form and mindset. Lol.

    was rewarding to hear Robbie interjecting putting confidence and increased skill level in this... i learned how to putt from him and it went from worst part of game to tied for first (for a social player I am pretty good at scrambling just from how much experience I have at it)... but yeah, I implemented a Robbie C putting video into what I do and worked it and worked it and changes the game for me... inside of 15 steps and I am actually putting to make it versus flopping it up outside of 6 or 7 steps hoping it goes in but just wanting to make sure finish in two

    I played my first tournament about 6 months after I started playing back in 2021. It was 3 rounds and I finished ±40. A year later at the same tournament, I finished -7. It's crazy to think how much my game has gotten better in one year.
    Whenever I'm feeling down I look back on my earlier performance to see how much further, accurate, consistent, and confident I am today.
    First ace - maiden, second ace - maiden, third ace - Berg 😛

  • @rk9515
    @rk9515 2 роки тому +2

    My putting is the weakest part of my disc golfing play. I can't seem to throw the disc even when I try, it always ends up on Hyzer when released from my hand. I am currently still trying to fix this error but I honestly don't know how to correct this mistke. It becomes more noticeable when I am 20+ ft out from the pin.

    • @calebdyer6332
      @calebdyer6332 2 роки тому

      Putting on hyzer isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I kinda struggled trying to putt flat, once I started intentionally putting on hyzer I became much more consistent.

    • @triplespace007
      @triplespace007 2 роки тому

      If you are spin putting, maybe you need to put more spin on it. My putt is relatively straight til I get out in distance. I use a hyzer putt for those long distances and just put a lot of height on it and hope it reaches the basket.

  • @kruksog
    @kruksog 2 роки тому

    Here's my advice... unless you have 400+ feet of distance (and I mean on any throw, not some lucky, every-star-aligns throw) then trying to crush one is never the answer. Like, if you're thinking on the tee "we'll just crush this one," step back, re-evaluate and probably disc down. You'll score better 90% of the time.

  • @beard_dg
    @beard_dg 2 роки тому

    First ace was about 2 months ago. Lucid-X Verdict during a practice round for a tournament. 240ft with a wide hyzer and it BANGED chains. Also, something you mention in the video regularly is reminding ourselves that we are better than we feel in the moment after a bad shot or before a nervy one. I am not so good at it on the tee and constantly let myself get psyched out about gaps that I KNOW I can hit in casual rounds. Definitely a pain point in my mental game that I'm trying to work on. Love the format of the video. Just casually playing some holes while giving guidance or talking through your process is something I think you do quite well.

    Played for the first time in a few months yesterday. Had 2 really close ace runs with my teebird 3 with a forehand. The second of which (a 300 footer with low, bushy trees everywhere) came right after losing my calvin heimburg halo destroyer in a really thick tree going for a spike hyzer (a shot I'm very uncomfortable with). I searched around the tree for about 20 minutes and even climbed up in it, but never so much as saw a glimpse of the disc. So I decided to re-tee and go for the low shot under the branches instead. Skipped up and hit the basket. 1 inch higher would've been my first ace. Still chasing it! One of these days.
